ChurchSpring Privacy Policy

Introduction

ChurchSpring (“we” or “us”) values its visitors’ privacy. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is effective February 26, 2014; it summarizes what information we might collect from a registered user or other visitor (“you”), and what we will and will not do with it.

This Policy applies to information we may collect:

  • on this Website;
  • in email, text, and other electronic messages between you and this Website;
  • through mobile and desktop applications you download from this Website, which provide dedicated non-browser based interaction between you and this Website.

Please note that this Policy does not govern the collection and use of information by companies that ChurchSpring does not control, nor by individuals not employed or managed by ChurchSpring including any website, application, or content we may link or that may be accessible from or through this Website. If you visit a website or other content that we mention or link to, be sure to review its privacy policy before providing the site with information.

Please carefully review this Policy so that you understand our policies and practices as it relates to your information and how we treat it. By continuing to access or use this Website, you explicitly agree to this Policy. We maintain the right to change this Policy from time to time at our sole discretion, and your continued use of this Website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes.

Information We Collect and How It’s Collected

We collect certain types of personally identifiable information. It is always up to you whether to disclose personally identifiable information to us, although if you elect not to do so, we reserve the right not to register you as a user or provide you with any products or services. “Personally identifiable information” means information that can be used to identify you as an individual, such as, for example:

  • your name, company, email address, phone number, billing address, and shipping address;
  • your ChurchSpring user ID and password;
  • credit card information;
  • any account-preference information you provide us;
  • your computer’s domain name and IP address, indicating where your computer is located on the Internet;
  • session data for your login session, so that our computer can ‘talk’ to yours while you are logged in.

Other Information We May Collect

  • We may collect other information that cannot be readily used to identify you, such as (for example) the domain name and IP address of your computer. We may use this information, individually or in the aggregate, for technical administration of our Website(s); research and development; customer and account administration; and to help us focus our marketing efforts more precisely.

We collect this information in several ways including:

  • From you directly when you provide it to us. 
  • Through automatic means such as “cookies” which store personal data on your computer. We may also link information stored on your computer in cookies with personal data about specific individuals stored on our servers. If you set up your Web browser (for example, Internet Explorer or Firefox) so that cookies are not allowed, you might not be able to use some or all of the features of our Website(s).

What We Do With Your Information

If you do provide personally identifiable information to us, either directly or through a reseller or other business partner, we will:

  • not sell or rent it to a third party without your permission — although unless you opt out, we may use your contact information to provide you with information we believe you need to know or may find useful, such as (for example) news about our services and products and modifications to this Policy and the Terms of Service;
  • take commercially reasonable precautions to protect the information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction;
  • not use or disclose the information except:
    • as necessary to provide services or products you have ordered, such as (for example) by providing it to a carrier to deliver products you have ordered;
    • in other ways described in this privacy policy or to which you have otherwise consented;
    • in the aggregate with other information in such a way so that your identity cannot reasonably be determined (for example, statistical compilations);
    • as required by law, for example, in response to a subpoena, court order, or search warrant or respond to any government or regulatory request;
    • to outside auditors who have agreed to keep the information confidential;
    • as necessary to enforce the Terms of Service;
    • as necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of ChurchSpring, its users, or others; this may include (for example) exchanging information with other organizations for fraud protection and/or risk reduction.

External Data Storage Sites

We may store your data on servers provided by third party hosting vendors with whom we have contracted.

Privacy and Security

We have taken steps designed to maintain the security and protection of your information. However, the safety and security of your information is also your responsibility. To help protect your privacy, be sure:

  • not to share your user ID or password with anyone else;
  • to log off the ChurchSpring Website when you are finished;
  • to take customary precautions to guard against “malware” (viruses, Trojan horses, bots, etc.), for example by installing and updating suitable anti-virus software.

Sending information over the internet is not always secure. While we use our best efforts to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information provided or used in conjunction with our Website. Any information provided to us or transmitted over the internet is at your own risk. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy or security settings on the Website. 

Notice to European Union Users

ChurchSpring‘s operations are located primarily in the United States. If you provide information to us, the information will be transferred out of the European Union (EU) to the United States. By providing personal information to us, you are consenting to its storage and use as described herein.

Information Collected from Children

You must be at least 13 years old to use ChurchSpring‘s Website(s) and service(s). ChurchSpring does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. (See the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.)

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change this privacy policy as we deem necessary or appropriate because of legal compliance requirements or changes in our business practices. If you have provided us with an email address, we will endeavor to notify you by email to that address of any material change to how we will use personally identifiable information.
